Chapter 240: Changes in the Zhenwu Realm, the Eight Immortal Sects
Time flies.
Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhenwu Realm, south of Zhongzhou.
Three beams of light flew over the blocking river in the sky, and three independent cultivators who had reached the perfection of the post-natal realm headed towards the Zhenxuan Mountain. This realm was not much different from the original Yuandan realm. Relying on the human body's ultimate capabilities and some mysterious techniques, they could fly in the air for a short period of time. It was difficult to make long-distance raids, but it was good for crossing some natural obstacles.
The three of them chatted easily, with a certain anticipation.
“This time, Zhenxuan Sect has been transformed into an immortal sect with the opportunity of Master Baishan stepping into the Purple Mansion Realm. This is an opportunity that cannot be missed for us. If we can join the Zhenxuan Sect, the three of us brothers can expect to become immortals in the future!” One of the middle-aged young cultivators clenched his fists.
Today's Zhenwu world is no longer the same as before.
Only great cultivators in the Purple Mansion Realm are qualified to be honored as True Immortals, and only True Immortals are qualified to establish an immortal sect.
Another older monk also nodded in agreement:
"Second brother is right. Although the resources in the Zhenwu Realm are abundant now, if you want to reach a higher level of immortality, you still have to join an immortal sect. In this way, you can find the whereabouts of many immortal skills and techniques without having to go to those immortal markets to search for them."
"Twenty years ago, the Realm Master showed mercy to all living beings and passed down the Yang Yuan Immortal Art. It is naturally an excellent technique for building a foundation, but for those of us whose aptitude is not monstrous, it is extremely difficult to make further progress with it. This kind of opportunity must not be missed. Among the three of us, I have the best aptitude. Even if the two of us cannot become his disciples, I should have no problem."
The youngest monk shook his head firmly:
"If the Zhenxuan Sect doesn't accept my two brothers, then I won't join either!"
The two elder brothers gently rebuked him for being so arrogant.
The young monk immediately said indignantly:
"Brother, Master Baishan is a great man who knows everything. I dare not show any disrespect to him. However, in the past twenty years, there are more than just the Zhenxuan Sect in the Zhenwu Realm. If I remember correctly, there are already eight masters who have established their own sects."
"The year after the Realm Lord passed down the way to immortality, Xuanwu Zhenren, Yanwu Zhenren and Tianshan Zhenren simultaneously established immortal sects, namely the Wan Yao Sect, the Li Immortal Clan and the Tianshan Sect. These are the three immortal sects with the deepest heritage."
"The Wan Yao Sect only accepts monsters, and it is difficult for humans to join. The Li Immortal Clan relies on the most prosperous Great Yan Dynasty. Although the main body is the Li disciples, people from other families can also be cultivated if they perform well. The Tianshan Sect is even better. Tianshan Zhenren is the youngest and has great potential. He may even be able to get a glimpse of the realm of Yuanshen Zhenjun in the future. If you join them, you will have a great backer in the future!"
“Not to mention that in the following twenty years, four more immortals, Qinglian, Leihe, Wuxiang, and Pingyang, set foot in the Purple Mansion Realm and established four major immortal sects. The seven major immortal sects in total must have a deeper foundation than the newly established Zhenxuan Sect.”
The young monk refuted with reason and evidence.
The second brother wanted to scold.
The eldest brother shook his head and laughed. He glared at his younger brother and said:
"Ignorant little brother, the seven great sects you mentioned are certainly strong, but we have already missed the opportunity to open our gates and recruit disciples. Why would these sects accept you as a disciple?"
"On the contrary, the Zhenxuan Sect is newly established and is eager to recruit talents. We still have some hope. If we go to other immortal sects, even you may not be sure of success."
“Besides… who told you that the Zhenxuan Sect has the shallowest foundation?”
Seeing the eldest brother's mysterious expression, the young monk's eyes lit up and he quickly asked:
"Could it be that Big Brother knows some secret?"
Even my second brother looked over.
The eldest brother looked around and quickly lowered his voice and said:
"It is said that... True Man Baishan has a very good personal relationship with the Realm Lord. There are rumors that before the Realm Lord awakened and ascended to the top, he received a lot of favors from True Man Baishan. Among the eight True Men, perhaps only True Man Xuanwu's relationship with the Realm Lord can be compared with his."
"So, do you still think that the True Mystic Sect has a shallow foundation?"
"With this relationship, if we can join the Zhenxuan Sect, it will be a great opportunity!"
Seeing that his two younger brothers were both dumbfounded, the eldest brother's vanity was greatly satisfied. He occasionally learned this from a senior who had participated in the world war, but he had never revealed it to anyone.
He was also amazed in his heart.
Realm Lord, what a supreme and majestic existence he is.
He pacified the chaos in the world, removed the deadly poison, spread the way of immortality, established the rules of the world... each and every one of them was an unparalleled achievement. Now in the Zhenwu world, no one can disrespect the world master. Even the most arrogant and domineering cultivator would bow his head and dare not act rashly when he hears the name of the world master.
If anyone could have even the slightest connection with the Realm Lord, it would be an unparalleled honor.
There are almost no other people like Master Baishan.
An unprecedented desire rose in the eyes of the younger brother, who was originally a little resentful, and he had an extremely strong desire to join the Zhenxuan Sect.
He was filled with reverence and sighed in a low voice:
"It is said that twenty years ago, the Realm Lord established the first immortal sect in the Nine Heavens, which is the Zhenwu Immortal Sect!"
Just now he counted all the immortal sects in the world, but did not include the Zhenwu Immortal Sect. It was not because he forgot, but because the Zhenwu Immortal Sect was an existence of transcendent status.
Twenty years ago, the world master established a rule that cultivators were not allowed to slaughter mortals, but some people broke it.
In serious cases, the offender will be struck by thunder.
In lighter cases, disciples of the Zhenwu Immortal Sect would carry out the punishment on behalf of Heaven.
Each of its disciples has a high level of cultivation and powerful means, and there are even some who are at the Purple Mansion Realm.
Therefore, the Zhenwu Realm had long ago separated the Zhenwu Immortal Sect and did not include it in the ranking of other immortal sects. To some extent, this was the embodiment of the Realm Master's will in the human world, high above the clouds.
However, the Zhenwu Immortal Sect is indeed like this. It never interferes in the affairs of the human world. If its disciples appear, they will certainly enforce the law impartially and without any selfish desires.
"What a pity... The Zhenwu Immortal Sect has no fixed method for accepting disciples. When the opportunity arises, even beggars and mortal animals can become disciples." The three of them all sighed.
If it is said that there is still a chance to touch the eight major immortal gates.
Then the Zhenwu Immortal Sect is a completely illusory existence.
The eldest brother patted the two on the shoulders and said with a smile:
“Why worry? Why not seize the present moment?”
Three pairs of hands clasped together, full of enthusiasm and hope for the future.
This scene is just a small microcosm of the Zhenwu Realm.
Ever since Ning Qi passed down the way of immortality twenty years ago, the entire Zhenwu world has undergone an earth-shaking transformation.
There has been a population explosion, as well as an explosion in the number of cultivators. The five half-step Purple Mansion realm cultivators back then have all entered the Purple Mansion realm, with True Man Baishan being the last one. While the Heavenly Man realm and Martial Saint realms have become a thing of the past, the number of Mana realm cultivators, which is equivalent to Martial Saint, has skyrocketed, with the number increasing dozens of times.
The Zhenwu Realm has expanded several times, with large areas waiting to be developed. With abundant resources, there is less conflict. People divide the Zhenwu Realm into nine states, Zhongzhou being one of them. Today, there are many dynasties and eight major immortal gates on the nine states, which have initially laid the foundation for the immortal path.
It is foreseeable.
As time goes by, more and more powerful cultivators will appear, and the entire Zhenwu world will become more prosperous.
Perhaps one day when the existing resources are fully developed, fierce internal strife will break out, but that is still a long way off, and the Zhenwu Realm is still growing continuously.
…
Zhenxuan Mountain.
Today is the Zhenren Ceremony of Zhenren Baishan, and it is also the day when Zhenxuan Sect is transformed into an immortal sect. It is a double happiness. Thousands of cultivators have come from far and wide, wanting to take the opportunity to join the immortal sect. Many powerful cultivators have also gathered to congratulate and watch the ceremony, and even a few friendly Zhenren have come.
Apart from this, only a very few people knew that even Master Longshan from the Zhenwu Immortal Sect had come.
Master Baishan greeted and saw off guests with a smile.
But he was a little absent-minded.
The few people who knew the inside story shook their heads:
"It is said that he has been in seclusion since the Realm Master passed down the way to immortality 20 years ago. It seems that he has not come out yet."
Soon, the ceremony was over.
Master Baishan returned to his quiet room alone, muttering to himself:
"This Ning kid, you didn't even come to my real-life ceremony. When we meet in the future, you must bring some goodies to me!"
He had a vicious expression on his face, but he froze when he turned around. He saw a figure in white clothes looking at him unhappily above the Taoist group, with a half-smile on his face:
"You sloppy old Taoist, so this is how you plotted against me behind my back?"
Ning Qi now looked a few years older, like a young man, but he was still as handsome and elegant as ever, with an aloof demeanor. Even though Taoist Bai Shan had already stepped into the Purple Mansion Realm, he still looked like he was seeing the bright moon in the sky. He immediately smiled and said:
"It turns out that it is the Realm Master who has come to visit. I am sorry for not coming in person to welcome you. I am so disrespectful."
The old Taoist leaned against the Taoist group opposite, feeling extremely happy.
Ning Qi smiled and shook his head:
"Don't give me that."
He felt a little emotional.
After twenty years of seclusion, he came out this time to meet Taoist Longshan, but only then did he learn that Taoist Baishan had entered the Purple Mansion Realm. He came to congratulate him without thinking. After all, looking around the world, there are not many people that Ning Qi cares about, except for those close to him in the Zhenwu Immortal Sect, and Taoist Baishan is one of them.
"I have prepared a little gift for you. Practice well, or you will die before me in the future." Ning Qi said with a smile.
The Taoist priest from Baishan rolled his eyes.
The life span of a True Person in the Purple Mansion Realm is ten thousand years, which is already extremely long, but who can live longer than Ning Qi, the Lord of this Realm?
He casually put the gift aside. He knew without even looking at it that it must be extremely valuable. However, what concerned him most was not this, but the fact that Ning Qi's attitude had never changed, which made him feel very good.
The Lord of a world, how noble.
Fortunately, everything is as before.
The two of them chatted with a smile about the changes in the Zhenwu world over the past twenty years. Most of the time, it was Taoist Baishan who did the talking and Ning Qi who listened, occasionally making a few remarks, just like in the past.
Ning Qi was also in a good mood.
He seeks the way to immortality, but he also does not want to end up in a lonely place in the future.
It is a wonderful thing to do what you like and have a good chat with close friends in your spare time.
"I, this old Taoist priest, will strive to reach the Yuanshen realm one day and live another 20,000 years. As for going higher, I'm afraid it's not possible." Taoist Master Baishan knows his own abilities, and even those in the Yuanshen realm have to try their best to seize the opportunity.
Ning Qi just smiled:
"That may not be the case."
These twenty years of seclusion were not without gain.
Not only did he successfully perfect the second realm of rules, he also thoroughly sorted out the most important part of the future path.
He wanted to gather the strength of all living beings to clear a way forward for himself.
A long time ago, before Ning Qi came into contact with the immortal way, he had already tried it. The Zhenwu Sword Monument and the Wandao Tower were experiments, and the results were quite good, but both were just a taste.
Now, Ning Qi wants to truly create a path to combine the power of all living beings with the way of the Lord of the Realm.
This way, he can not only bring out the advantages of his understanding, but also allow the achievements of all living beings to benefit the world.
Master Baishan's eyes lit up:
"What amazing thing are you going to come up with?"
Ning Qi laughed loudly and disappeared from the spot, leaving only his voice echoing:
"You'll know when the time comes."
Master Bai Shan was itching to know immediately. He looked angrily in the direction where Ning Qi disappeared and said fiercely:
"Good boy Ning, you are here to tease me!"
He was so angry that he was jumping up and down. The feeling of being stuck in the middle was really uncomfortable.
After a while.
He couldn't help but smile, anticipation gradually rising in his heart.
Whenever Ning Qi takes action, there is usually no small commotion. This time he appeared after twenty years of seclusion, which is a long time. He must have made some big gains again.
"What Guan Ning said may be something that can benefit all living beings in the Zhenwu Realm. Does it mean that I may be able to use this opportunity to reach a realm that I could not have set foot on before?"
His eyes lit up.
If one could get a glimpse of the ultimate realm of immortality, who would be willing to give it up? It's just that he has self-knowledge.
He rubbed his hands excitedly and paced back and forth.
…
Zhenwu Immortal Sect.
Three hundred and sixty-five immortal mountains lead to the stars around in the sky and float in the void, almost forming a world of their own. The spiritual energy within is abundant, which is more than ten times that of the outside world. A cultivator with ordinary qualifications can achieve better results by practicing here than a genius who practices hard in the outside world.
This is the way to immortality. Talent is important, but resources are even more important.
Therefore, the importance of fighting in the immortal way has become a consensus in the spiritual world.
During the past twenty years, many disciples of the Zhenwu Immortal Sect have grown rapidly. Among them, those at the Mana Power Realm have become extremely common, and there have even been some at the Purple Mansion Realm. The number is more than the outside world imagines. However, it is extremely difficult to cultivate to the Purple Mansion Realm in just twenty years. The reason why this is possible is because of the Zhenwu Palace.
Before Ning Qi went into seclusion, he granted authority to the inner hall of Zhenwu Temple to many of his close people. Disciples of Zhenwu who had made great contributions could also enter to practice.
Only in this way can one reach the Purple Mansion Realm in twenty years.
Because in fact they did not practice for twenty years, but for a full two hundred years.
Two hundred years have passed, with many powerful mystical skills, inexhaustible resources, and the various secret realm evolution magical powers left by Ning Qi. It would be strange if there were no achievements. This is how the Zhenwu Immortal Sect has its current transcendent status.
today.
It is the biggest event of the Zhenwu Immortal Sect.
Zhenwu Peach Meeting.
The Zhenwu Peach Meeting used to be a private gathering of Ning Qi and his many fellow disciples to reminisce about their fellow disciples. However, after Ning Qi went into seclusion, the Zhenwu Peach Meeting had not been held for many years. Later, Luo Wentian proposed to make it a grand event held every three years by the Zhenwu Immortal Sect to motivate younger disciples.
It can be considered a great achievement.
Nowadays, in addition to the main peak, Zhenwu Peak, the Zhenwu Immortal Sect also has Purple Mansion Realm True Immortals who have established roots in other peaks, and many geniuses have emerged due to the competition among them.
During these twenty years, he had accepted many disciples, almost all of whom were accepted when his disciples traveled around the world, but they always kept in mind the rules set by Ning Qi.
That is, character comes first, and qualifications come second.
Every disciple must accept the tests of the Heart-Searching Platform and the Heavenly Stairs when he enters the sect. Those who have evil thoughts in their hearts are not allowed to enter.
Today's Platform of Inquiry and Stairs of Ascension have already transformed, and their effects are incomparable to those of the past. Even those at the Soul Realm can still see some effects, so disciples who have just entered the realm will naturally have nowhere to hide.
Luo Wentian was always prepared for danger, worrying that the Zhenwu Immortal Sect's status was too transcendent, which would breed arrogance among its disciples. Therefore, he made the Platform of Inquiry and the Stairs to Heaven required annual assessments for the sect's disciples. If a disciple's character changed, he would be advised to correct it. If he refused to change after repeated admonitions, his cultivation would be abolished and he would be expelled from the sect.
The Zhenwu Immortal Sect is extremely lively today.
Originally, many disciples under the tutelage of Immortal Longshan had already achieved the status of Immortal of Purple Mansion and were in charge of various peaks.
There are also many talented disciples among the sect.
The Zhenwu Peach Club has many rewards, including the opportunity to practice in the inner hall of the Zhenwu Temple. Whether it is to enter the vision of the sect’s top leaders or for precious practice resources, many disciples are doing their best.
In front of the Mingxin Palace on Zhenwu Peak, each disciple used his own methods, causing bursts of exclamations.
Many elders of the sects sat on the high platform and commented with a smile.
A chubby young man was chewing a chicken leg, drinking fine wine, and shaking his head as he said:
"Not bad, not bad. Much better than those useless guys in my Divine Sword Peak."
The person who spoke was Zhuang Chen, but now Zhuang Chen is already the famous Divine Sword Immortal. Because he is a lover of food and has a kind heart and a fat body, he is also called the "Fat Immortal" by many of his fellow apprentices. Zhuang Chen does not care about it, but thinks it suits him better. If the name of Divine Sword Immortal was not given to commemorate his master, he would prefer the name of Fat Immortal.
He sighed again:
"I just always feel like something is missing. When Senior Brother Nine was here, the Zhenwu Peach Festival was really fun. Sigh, I don't know when Senior Brother Nine will be able to come out of seclusion. Now that Senior Brother Nine has become the Realm Master, I'm afraid he won't have time to hold the Zhenwu Peach Festival in the future."
His words were full of regret.
Ye Qinghe said with a smile:
"Little Fatty, you've grown too powerful. You're making up stories about your Ninth Senior Brother. Aren't you afraid that he'll come after you?"
Zhuang Chen shrank his neck:
"Hehe, hehe, I was just saying it casually. Ninth Senior Brother is very generous and won't argue with me."
All the fellow disciples smiled, they knew that Zhuang Chen had always admired Ning Qi the most, these words were just jokes, everyone missed Ning Qi very much, after all, Ning Qi was only a teenager before he became the Realm Master, but this time he had been in seclusion for twenty years.
"I haven't been to Senior Brother Nine's Seeking Dao Temple for a long time. I don't know how the Enlightenment Tea Tree is doing now. I'm really greedy!"
Zhuang Chen shook his head and spoke excitedly, but he saw that his fellow disciples around him did not respond as usual. Their eyes were a little strange at the time, with excitement, excitement, gloating, and all kinds of complex emotions were revealed.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw a familiar figure standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.
If it’s not Ning Qi, then who else could it be?
"Oh my god, Ninth Brother!" Zhuang Chen was stunned at first, then he shouted excitedly. He hugged him, but felt an invisible force holding him back. Ning Qi smiled:
"Little Fatty, what did you just say? You said that your Ninth Senior Brother has become a Realm Master and is high and mighty, right?"
Zhuang Chen rubbed his hands together and laughed, scratching his head in embarrassment.
All the brothers gathered around, looking excited:
"Ninth Senior Brother!"
"Xiaojiu!"
Ning Qi nodded with a smile:
"We can take this opportunity today to restart the Zhenwu Peach Club."
Although the Zhenwu Peach Festival has been passed down in a different way over the years, it has a completely different meaning for Ning Qi.
On the high platform, everyone left and an elder continued to preside over the Peach Party.
As for Ning Qi's existence, no one knew about it.
With Ning Qi’s current realm, if he didn’t want to, no one else would be able to discover his existence.
Seeking Taoism in the courtyard.
When they returned to this place twenty years later, everyone was amazed, especially when they saw the towering and lush Wudao tea tree.
Things remain the same, but people have changed.
